LEARNING OUTCOMES
1. Explain the necessity for organism
to reproduce
2. State types of reproduction
3. Explain the necessity for formation
of gametes
4. Describe formation of sperm in
humans
5. Describe formation of ovum in
humans
6. Compare the formation of sperm &
Types of reproduction
A human sperm
secondary
oocyte
(a.k.a
mature egg@
ovum) enters the Fallopian tube.
If a
sperm penetrates the secondary
oocyte during fertilization,
meiosis II is
completed and 2 haploid cells of
Similarities
1. Both are developed from the
germinal epithelial cells (2n) of the
reproductive organ
2. The cells undergo mitosis to produce
many diploid cells ( spermatogonia
& oogonia)
3. Both process undergo meiosis to
produce four haploid daughter cells
or gametes
